Simon Coveney will face a grilling next week over his handling of the infamous Department of Foreign Affairs champagne party.
Mr Coveney will appear before the Oireachtas committee on foreign affairs to discuss a report into a celebration that took place in Iveagh House in June 2020.
In a report published earlier this week the current Secretary General Joe Hackett found a “serious breach” of social distancing rules had occurred at the gathering to mark Ireland’s election to the UN Security Council.
